RARITY: NOT OFTEN ACTORS CAN PORTRAY CHARACTERS SIMILAR TO THEM
Bonginkosi Tiwane
Buti's challenging role

Both Buti and the character are products of an affair, but there are differences as well. It is not often that an actor portrays a character that has gripping similarities to who they are.

Soft Life actress Zizipho Buti plays the role of Owami Gqoji, a Tembisa-born damsel navigating the glamorous world of high-society companionship in a desperate attempt to pay off her mother's escalating medical bills, on the Showmax series.

The parallels between the thespian and the character are that both Buti and Owami are products of an affair, but there are differences as well.

Father-daughter relationship

"While Owami's relationship with her father is filled with resentment and unresolved tension, my own experience was the opposite. I adored my dad," Buti told The Citizen.
